Formed in 1989, IONA take their name from the small island off the west coast of Scotland.
From the beginning, their aim has been to write spiritual, atmospheric, yet uplifting music that
would stir the emotions, weaving complex patterns that echo the intricate knot work of the great
Celtic artists. Often inspired by the great figures of the Celtic Golden Age such as Columba, Aidan,
Brendan and Patrick, IONA's music is as timeless as the message that reaches out to us across the
centuries.
